D&D 5E Witch Bolt (but good)

Yunru

Banned
Banned
Witch Bolt
1st level evocation
Casting time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A beam of crackling, blue energy lances out toward a creature within range, forming a sustained arc of lightning between you and the target. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 lightning damage and its speed is halved until your next turn. On each of your turns for the duration, you can use your bonus action to repeat the attack against the target. The spell ends if you use your bonus action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell’s range or if it has total cover from you.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st.

It seems too good now, but maybe not. 3d10 damage with no damage on a miss is the same as Inflict Wounds, so that's not bad, but the scaling is definitely too much. Unless you didn't mean the scaling to improve the additional damage.
